The Social Security Administration has just announced a 3.2 percent increase in Social Security benefits for 2024, reflecting moderating inflation. This welcome update contrasts the significant jumps in previous years and follows a year-over-year rise in the Consumer Price Index, though notably lower than recent highs.
For an average Social Security retiree, this means an increase of approximately $50 per month, elevating the monthly benefit to $1,907 from $1,848 in 2023. While most of the 66 million beneficiaries will see this boost in January, about 7.5 million Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will experience the increase in their December checks.
